Roswell Overnight, Watch for Aliens

If you're looking for a quick getaway from Albuquerque. Roswell is only a 3 hour drive. 

The directions are pretty easy too. I40 east to Clines Corners/hwy 285 south to Roswell. 

There are a decent amount of hotels and motels to choose from and lots of Alien themed photo opportunities. Room rates can vary from $50- $150 depending on property and dates. The trip including gas, room, food, and admission to attractions was less than $300 for 2 people. Souvenirs and alien antenna are extra. 

Things to do in Roswell:

• International UFO Museum and Research Center and Gift Shop
• 114 N Main St, Roswell     Open 9-5, 7 days a week. 
• admission $7 adults, discounts for seniors, military, and children
• the building is a former movie theater built in the 1930s converted in 1991 to the museum. There is a lot of newspaper articles from the time the "unidentified objects" were found, tributes to movies and shows about aliens, and many alien and UFO props.
